Sure, the market dynamics there are as different from the US as apples are from oranges, but hey, they're both fruit, right?

Try asking your neighbor hosts on AirBnB and check an app called Nextdoor

That is like comparing apples to oranges.

Their calendar view is really nice and immediately syncs with the channels.I can easily message guests from the app regardless of where they booked.

I am seeking recommendations for companies or resellers that specialize in App/Card-based Washer/Dryers.

Shiny bells and whistles but no real benefit have lost more money from this app. 

That's why I don't use any OTA other than Airbnb, nor any cleaning app other than Turno, and nor any PMS other than Guesty or Hostaway! 

Beyond the usual maintenance requests and communication tools, are there any innovative technologies or apps you've implemented that have significantly improved the tenant experience?

Lot going on here so I would try to slow things down a bit and take smaller bites of the apple. 

@Chris Heinmiller you can export a list of recent (i.e. 18 months) land trades from Redfin, but you do have to separate the apples from the orange and the bananas, but in an area that is somewhat homogenous, you'll usually be able to see a trend, i.e. you might have two low ones at 20-30k per lot, and one or two high ones at 175k-200k/lot, but then you'll see six or seven trades in the 55-65k range, and then you've figured it out.
